2013 Winter/Spring Residencies at Brush Creek Ranch

The artist residency program at Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts offers two sessions per year with programs of two, four or six weeks, depending on availability and the applicant's ranking in the jury process. Preference will go to four-week requests. The Winter/Spring artist retreats run from January–May with a deadline of September 15 of the previous year. The Summer/Fall session runs from June–November with an application deadline on March 15 of the same year.

A blind jury will rank residents based on work samples provided with the application. Visual Artists (including drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, installation, new media and video) shall provide 10–20 images or a short video. Language Arts (including fiction, non-fiction, poetry and scientific writing) shall include no more than 20 pages of material. Musicians and composers provide two scores and two music files for listening.

Selected artists will receive housing, most meals, exclusive studio access and use of the library, lounge and kitchen, which are nestled in a meadow along the riparian corridor of Brush Creek. Residents are responsible for all supplies and either transportation to Brush Creek Ranch or Laramie Regional Airport. The application fee is $30.00. Applicants must provide work samples formatted to CAFE standards, CV or resume, artist statement and description of project, and contact information for two individuals capable of providing a character reference.
